A novel proteomics approach to epigenetic profiling of circulating nucleosomes

Abstract Alteration of epigenetic modifications plays an important role in human cancer. Notably, the dysregulation of histone post-translational modifications (PTMs) has been associated with several cancers including colorectal cancer (CRC). However, the signature of histone PTMs on circulating nuc...
